Question: O eminent shaykh, how do see the future of Islām in light of the various movements, ideologies, and factions, that the enemies of Islām are utilising?
Response: By the permission of Allāh, I believe that Islām will triumph over these destructive ideologies and movements that have presently plagued the world, and that everything that has been directed towards Islām, by its plotting enemies, to undermine and prevent it from gaining prominence upon the earth will fall back on the perpetrators. This is due to the fact that Allāh, the all-mighty, has taken it upon Himself to preserve the glorious Qur‘ān which is as the great foundation of Islām.
Allāh, may He be glorified, said,
{Indeed, it is We Who have sent down (this Revelation) as ‘the Reminder’ and verily, it is We Who shall surely protect it from corruption.} [Surah al-Hijr: 9]
ِِAllāh, to Whom all praise and glory belongs, has prepared individuals as supporters of His Religion. The Prophet ﷺ said:
There will always remain a group from my Ummah victorious and steadfast upon the truth. They will not be harmed by those who forsake them up until the affair of Allah comes.
In another narration:
They will not be harmed by those who oppose them up until the Hour is established
Also, that which serves as a glad tiding for what we have mentioned is the spread of movements – both within the Islamic countries and outside of them, that call for adherence to the Book and the Sunnah. Moreoever, the very doctrines and idologies such as Communism, Western Capitalism etc which are promoted by their advocates, have been proven to be futile and failing, and they have not helped humanity succeed, rather they have been detrimental their religion (i.e distanced people from Islām), their morals and economies. This is due to the fact that these [ideologies and systems] are the product of ‘human intellect’ which is naturally prone to deficiency, short-sightedness, ignorance, and following its own whims and desires, as Allāh states:
{And if it, (the Qur‘ān), was from other than Allāh, mankind would have surely found much contradiction within it} [04:82]
Humanity has begun to turn right and left in search of the correct path, hoping it will save them from the abyss, into which every aspect of their lives has deteriorated. And it is only Islām that is able to save humanity from these destructive elements. Mankind will come to realise this reality sooner or later by the permission of Allāh, as He, the most high, said:
{As for the foam, then it passes away as scum upon the banks. Whereas that which is of benefit to mankind, then it remains on the earth. See how Allāh makes (the truth clear by) parables} [13:17]
Incidentally, that which we are referring to here is the pure authentic Islām which is free from shirk and bid’ah; that which the Prophet ﷺ, his Companions and the righteous Muslims of the early generations after him were upon; through it they succeeded, became victorious and conquering lands, thereby leading people to the path of guidance and the shores of salvation. And Allāh is the one who guides to success.
مرئيات حول مستقبل الإسلام

السؤال: سماحة الشيخ ، كيف ترون مستقبل الإسلام أمام التيارات والأيديولوجيات والمذاهب المختلفة التي تناصبه العداء؟
الجواب: أرى أن الإسلام سوف ينتصر بإذن الله على تلك التيارات والنحل الزائفة التي ابتلي بها العالم في عصرنا الحاضر ، وأن كل ما يوجه إلى الإسلام من عداء ماكر للنيل منه وإزاحته عن قيادة العالم سوف يعود في النهاية بإذن الله تعالى على نحور أصحابه ، وذلك أن الله جل شأنه قد تكفل بحفظ القرآن الكريم الذي هو الأساس العظيم للإسلام ، حيث يقول سبحانه :
{إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ} سورة الحجر الآية 9
وقد هيأ الله سبحانه وله الحمد والمنة لدينه أنصارا ، كما قال النبي ﷺ: “لاتزال طائفة من أمتي على الحق منصورة لا يضرهم من خذلهم حتى يأتي أمر الله” وفي رواية أخرى : “لايضرهم من خالفهم حتى تقوم الساعة”.
ومما يبشر بما ذكرنا ما انتشر في العالم الإسلامي وغيره من الحركات التي توصي باتباع الكتاب والسنة والسير عليهما.
ثم إن تلك المبادئ والمذاهب من شيوعية ورأسمالية غربية وغيرها من المذاهب التي يروج لها اليوم أصحابها قد ثبت بالتجربة زيفها وفشلها ، وأنها لا تسعد البشرية بل تضرها في دينها وأخلاقها واقتصادها ، حيث إنها من صنع البشر الذي طبيعته القصور والجهل والهوى ، كما قال تعالى:
{وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اخْتِلافًا كَثِيرًا} سورة النساء : الآية 82
وقد بدأت البشرية تتلفت يمنة ويسرة علها تجد منهجا صالحا ينقذها من الهاوية التي تردت فيها جميع شؤون حياتها ، والإسلام وحده هو القادر على إنقاذ البشرية من تلك المهالك ، وستكتشف البشرية بإذن الله تلك الحقيقة إن عاجلا أو آجلا ، كما قال الله تعالى :
{فَأَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَاءً وَأَمَّا مَا يَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَذَلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثَالَ} سورة الرعد الآية 17
وكلامنا هذا هو في الإسلام النقي من شوائب الشرك والبدع الذي أخذ به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وأصحابه والسلف الصالح من بعده فأفلحوا ونجحوا وفتحوا البلاد وقادوا العباد إلى سبيل الرشاد وشاطئ السلامة.
والله الموفق.
